First impressions of the E1

[dirk]

Finally the E-1! Let's hope that it is also the camera that we were hoping for feature/quality wise

The E-1 seems really to be significant smaller then other Digital cameras, which is a good thing for daily uses and usability.

Here are some pictures on the dp-now.com site where you get a good idea about the size.

I will add more images in the scan section, because of the bigger size and some small ones in this thread.

Bear in mind that we have since a couple of weeks the Olympus pdf file with a detailed explanation of the advantages of the 4/3rd system in our scan section:

I do not know why Olympus makes so many press releases on one day, but we will upload them anyway, so you pick yourself what is interesting and what not

So here is another one:

The lenses are called Zuiko lenses by the way

Dpreview has published a few minutes ago a first preliminary test with a pre-production model:

And Olympus launched a new website dealing only with the new 4/3rd system 30 minutes ago:

Hi Dirk,

Olympus apparently launched more than one website on the E-1:
